Aaron John Riley

It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of Aaron Riley, who left us far too soon on November 30, 2025, at the age of 44. He passed away peacefully in Oklahoma City, with his fiancée Karlie by his side, surrounded by the love and memories of his family and friends.

Aaron was born on May 6, 1981, in El Reno, Oklahoma, to Larry and Helen Riley. He grew up in Yukon and graduated from Yukon High School in 1999. Aaron had a natural love for sports, especially soccer, and was a passionate supporter of Oklahoma State University football and Manchester United. He never missed a chance to watch a game with family and friends, his excitement and energy always adding to the fun.

Aaron's career at Kenworth was a big part of his life. He enjoyed his work and formed close bonds with his colleagues, who became like a second family to him. Aaron was proud of what he did and took great joy in being part of the Kenworth team.

Above all else, Aaron was a loving father to his three children, Lucy, Beckham, and Lauren, who were the center of his world. His fiancée Karlie was his greatest companion, and they shared so many beautiful and adventurous moments together. He was a devoted partner, father, and friend—always there for the people he loved.

Aaron was preceded in death by his mother, Helen, and his brother, Cory. He leaves behind his father Larry, his fiancée Karlie, his children Lucy, Beckham, and Lauren, and countless friends who will miss him dearly.

Though Aaron's life was far too short, the impact he made on everyone around him will be felt for years to come.

Viewing will be held from 2:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Friday, December 5 at the funeral home.

A celebration of Aaron's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Yanda & Son Funeral Home Chapel in Yukon, OK, with interment following at the Yukon Cemetery.
